    SO CUTE SO FUN

    My kids and I did these at the beginning of the year to put in the hallway. They took us about a week to complete with our schedule, but when they were done they looked great in the hallway until it was time for the halloween bulletin board!

    One of my favorite back to school craft!

    My students loved making this craft for back to school. They all wanted to take them home immediateley but I wanted to put them out on our bulletin for a bit. It is a lot of cutting but that was a skill 1st graders need to practice anyway. I loved how they turned out!

    Adorable Back to School Backpacks

    My students loved this activity, creating their own backpacks for the school year! It was a great activity for getting to know where students are at with their writing, fine motor etc. at the start of the year!
